Carhartt takes 15% off for nurses and first responders through ID.me. Military members and medical providers get the same 15%.

Who Qualifies
Carhartt gives 15% to four groups: military members, nurses, first responders and medical providers. Pick the one that matches your job when you verify.
First responders can be active or retired. ID.me verifies EMTs and paramedics, firefighters (wildland firefighters included) and law enforcement officers. Law enforcement covers police officers at the federal, state, local and campus level, sheriff’s deputies, corrections officers and probation officers. Security officers, civilian staff and search and rescue team members don’t qualify.
Nurses have their own group, so you don’t have to be a first responder to get the 15%. ID.me counts registered nurses, LPNs, LVNs, nurse practitioners and CRNAs, along with certified nursing assistants, nurse aides, patient care technicians, school nurses, home health nurses and travel nurses. You need to have graduated from a nursing program and met your licensing body’s requirements for a nursing license.
If you work in the field, you may fit the first responder group instead. ID.me counts flight nurses, mobile intensive care nurses, pre-hospital registered nurses and transport nurses as EMTs. Other nurses don’t count as first responders, and Carhartt’s rate is 15% either way.
Medical providers include doctors, dentists, pharmacists, physical and occupational therapists, physician assistants, respiratory therapists and veterinarians. Certified medical assistants verify here too, since they can’t verify as nurses. Students, pharmacy clerks and billers and coders don’t qualify. Some retailers ask nurses to complete a medical provider verification for certain discounts, and ID.me lets you verify as both.
What Documents ID.me Accepts
Nurses start with a license lookup: you enter your state license type and license number. If ID.me can’t find you in its nurse database, you upload an ID card, an employment letter signed by an administrator, your nursing license or a pay stub. The document has to show your first and last name and an acceptable nurse position.
First responders upload one of these: an ID card, a training certification, a signed verification letter on official letterhead, a pay stub or a notification of personnel action. Your name and job title have to be on it. Paper IDs and federal ID cards are turned down, and so are expired IDs.
What You Save
The discount is 15% for every group. Additional restrictions may apply, and ID.me doesn’t say what they are, so look at the cart total to see what the 15% took off your order. Carhartt also advertises free US ground shipping for Groundbreakers Loyalty Members.
Q&A
Q: How much is the Carhartt first responder discount?
A: 15% off. Nurses, military members and medical providers get the same 15%.
Q: I’m a nurse. Which group do I pick?
A: Nurses. If you work as a flight nurse or a transport nurse, you can verify as a first responder instead, and the rate is the same.
Q: Does an EMT verify as a first responder or a medical provider?
A: First responder. ID.me sends EMTs to the first responder group.
Q: Does a nurse qualify as a first responder?
A: Not unless the job is on the EMT list, like a flight nurse. ID.me doesn’t count other nurses and doctors as first responders.
Q: What if ID.me can’t find my nursing license?
A: Upload a document with your name and nurse position on it. An ID card, an employment letter signed by an administrator, your nursing license or a pay stub all work.
Q: My document was rejected. What now?
A: Check that it isn’t a paper ID, a federal ID card or an expired ID, and that it shows your first and last name and your job title.
